(Sara Brickner, Eugene Weekly)

Tesco Vee - Meatmen Reissues, DVD, Tour, Debauchery..

The Meatmen... Brain-child of one man-child Tesco Vee has existed off and on since 1979. Mover of over 300,000 units since inception, the band was/is a vehicle for Vee's warped, and sophomoric persona, as he lays waste (with tongue occasionally firmly planted in cheek) to organized religion, societal norms, and the French. From humble punk rock beginnings in East Lansing in 1979, The Meatmen rose to heavy duty heights in the 80's and 90's before cashing in their dubloons in 1996. But now, we are on the eve of the re-emergence of the Dutch Hercules and his all new band of meatboys...
